Am in a real quandary now having seen both the X3 and the X5. I think we would be very happy having an X3, nice looking car and lovely inside, however, both the X3 and the X5 are simply not big enough in the boot area. In fact they were both disappointingly small. I have a need for space for the three dogs (not particularly large dogs) and the occasional dog crate in the boot. Both cars could not accommodate that, really disappointed. Coming from the square backed Volvo V70 I have been spoiled for space. The 5 Touring is the same, depth of boot as the V70 is just about ok, but height and the sloping roof no good. I looked at a Volvo XC90 on the way home, space is not much bigger than the BMW.
So, where to go now. It looks I might have to go back to looking at Discovery 4's (with £475 annual road tax!) - I know the boot space in them is big and more than adequate. I still have to move the 640d on though (couldn't afford Disco and the 640d at the same time).
What to do, the Volvo is going back to the lease company in about 4/5 weeks!
